OFLC announced that it has completed the procedures to randomly assign all H-2B applications submitted during the initial three-day filing window, July 3-5, 2020, requesting an October 1, 2020, work start date for the first half of the FY2021 H-2B statutory visa cap.
OFLC received a total of 685 H-2B applicants in the FLAG system requesting 16,609 worker positions during this filing period. Since the number of applications received requested fewer worker positions for certification than the statutory numerical limitation, all H-2B applications filed were randomly given a unique number and placed into the same group for assignment.

OFLC announced that the filing window to submit an H-2B application requesting work start dates of October 1, 2020, or later, will open on July 3, 2020, at 12:00 am (ET). H-2B applications requesting an October 1, 2020, work start date will be denied if they are filed before that date and time. OFLC will randomly order for processing all applications filed during the initial three calendar days using the randomization procedures published in the Federal Register on March 4, 2019.
